Many of the domains that are for sale on the aftermarket already have value. They may be short, keyword-packed names, or they might have valuable traffic. This is certainly not always the case, but it is quite possible to find a good deal on a domain name that you can turn around and sell at a profit. More often, however, you can find domains that have potential, build traffic and backlinks, and then sell for a profit.
If you’re buying registered domain names to resell, your best bet might be to go through a wholesale domainer. They specialize in selling domains to fellow domainers who will build traffic and sell them to a customer who plans to keep them. They also sometimes sell portfolios of several domains, so you can get a better deal than if you had purchased that many domains individually.
You might also find good deals on established domains from site owners who are retiring, pursuing other interests, or going out of business, but this is somewhat rarer. These types of sellers often want to sell the website along with the domain name. That can work for domain flippers who are interested in building traffic and reselling in some cases. But if the site is an online store or some other type of high-maintenance pursuit, it might require more work than a domain flipper has time to do.
Buying domains from other domain flippers or from site owners is usually the most expensive way to acquire a website. But since most of the good domains are taken, it makes sense that there is lots of potential profit in this area. If you take the time to build traffic and make the domain more attractive to end users, you could come out far ahead.
